Trish Hepworth - Director of Policy and Education, ALIA
Roxanne Missingham - University Librarian, ANU
Liz Jack - Executive Director, Libraries Tasmania
In this virtual fireside chat, a small group of leaders who have walked diverse career pathways will share personal insights about leadership. They will draw on their experiences with organisational leadership, professional leadership, thought leadership, and leading 'from the ranks' to tackle key questions such as:
− What does it mean to be a leader?
− What does it take to lead?
− How do you map out a leadership trajectory?
− Why is succession planning important? Whose responsibility is it? How do we get it right?
− What does it mean to lead from wherever you are?
This session is for current leaders, leaders in-the-making, those who want to be led, and those who want to lead in the profession without holding a traditional leadership position. The panel will inspire delegates to consider how they can nurture the next generation of leaders, think critically about who they want to be as a leader and how they might get there, and provide leadership around key issues for the GLAM professions.
